i thought in Rino as well. But the size..
The fly has a petiole in wing... so perhaps it could be really Rhino.
Theo will say. Smile

This is a Rhinophoride.
But it is not Rhinophora because Rhinophora has clear wings and "mouth" protruding.

I think it is Stevenia spec.

As suggested, it's STevenia.
Impossible to give a species name.
